Is it possible to run 32 bit and 64 bit simultaneously?

Is it possible to have both versions downloaded on my 64-bit machine? So far my 32 bit file crashes

Hey @bhmiller89 ,

 

not sure what exactly crashes when you reference the 32bit file

 

Basically, it possible to install both versions of Power BI Desktop on your 64bit machine.

If you are accessing MS Access databases. make sure that the proper version of the OLE DB provider is installed on your machine. As it's not supported by MSFT to install both drivers of the MS Access database provider.

 

Hopefully, this provides some ideas to tackle your challenge.

 

Regards,

Tom
